Love this, Kim! Happy birthday! I wish you much fun and joy in your 50 experiences! I turned 50 in May, no fanfare, no party, just a lovely lunch with close family. After being diagnosed with cancer a year ago, I just had a quiet celebration of still being here! Another friend, who turns 51 today, was so traumatised by the idea of turning 50, couldn't, and still can't bring herself to say the word 'fifty'! I truly hope you have a wonderful birthday and your 50 experiences bring amazing things your way!

Happy Birthday!! Great way to celebrate Kim -- can't wait to see all you do/see/experience/eat/drink/etc. Will be fun! For me 25 was the hard one to swallow...now I just enjoy each year as they keep getting better and better. Enjoy your year-long celebration!

I love it! With age comes wisdom and you certainly turned things around! Happy birthday! I will be 55 this year and I, too, have mulled the same things over and over like you did.......and I am going to turn it around just as you have. Thanks for the inspiration! !!!!!!!

I love your attitude! I'm way older than you by (8) years... sigh. But I love the idea of 50 new experiences! I love it that you went skinny dipping on your birthday. Great start to your new year. Happy Birthday!!

Kim dear ~ Ha! Thank you for the hoot of the day....I rememberwhen just blowing out the candles on the birthday cake wouldhave sufficed, but your donning the birthday suit and takingthe plunge in the moonlight may just have started a whole new tradition...Go to it, adventurous spirit !!!!! Looking forward to coming attractions...

Kim, you are wonderful! I so need to have your attitude. I tell you, 50 didn't bother me -- 25 did. lol! But I've definitely been feeling the same way you were describing recently -- empty nest and feeling old, etc. I will so enjoy your 50 new things during the year. And maybe you will inspire me to do new things too! I've already done one this year -- London! :D Happy belated birthday!
